We are excited to announce an expansion of the Present Levels Wizard from reading and math to now include behavior.

The Challenge of Describing Student Behavior

  • The Present Levels Wizard helps educators with some of the most challenging elements of describing behavior in a student’s present levels statement:
  • Describing behaviors objectively and without stigma, negative judgments, or assumptions.
    Including all necessary details so that the team understands the full context in which the behavior occurs (setting, antecedent, behavior, etc.).
  • Referencing observational data such as the frequency, duration, or intensity of the behavior.
We organized our Behavior Present Levels Wizard into the essential components of describing the full context in which a behavior occurs including observational data.
Because each behavior is unique, educators can customize every aspect of the present levels statement.

Resources to Inform an Objective Data-informed Approach

When behavior is described in present levels, it is often purely anecdotal and absent of quantitative information that provides details of when and where the behavior occurred, as well as the frequency, duration, or intensity of the observed behavior.

The Behavior Present Levels Wizard includes numerous downloadable resources with various data collection methods, such as ABC Observations Forms, student/parent/teacher interviews, and observational tracking sheets to gather frequency, duration, and latency data.

What’s Next?

Based on the positive reception of our beta preview release, we are committed to expanding our Present Levels Wizard. These are the areas of the Present Levels Wizard we will be focusing on next:

  • Writing
  • Functional and Life Skills
